FOOD POISONING.
THE one article of food which has gone particularly under suspicion in regard to the recent cases of food poisoning is ice-cream, says the Auckland Herald. If it is established that this was the cause of so many of the reported cases, it will be necessary to see that the strongest steps are taken to prevent a repetition of the trouble. It is just possible that the use of preserva-
lives which are permitted in specified quantities, but if more than the right quantity is used the result is likely to he detrimental. In the making and selling of ice-cream, it is impossible to over-estimate the need for the most scrupulous cleanliness, and all receptacles in shops should be scalded out thoroughly and frequently. Further, the product should be eaten within a few hours of its being ready for sale. Food poisoning cases, if dealt with in good time, and with medical aid promptly called in, generally get quickly better. Where there is any fear that a patient is suffering from food poisoning the safest course is to administer a good strong dose of castor oil and at once call in the doctor. In incipient cases the dose of castor oil may prove a complete cure.
